Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,995.
Has a variety of mods.

This Jeep belonged to my neighbor in Lubbock, Texas, 20 years ago. An auto tech class did the engine swap and paint job, but I don’t remember if it was a high school or junior college program. It is neat to see it’s still plugging along and made it all the way up to Maine.
Chad, Wow, thanks for the history. I’m thinking of checking it out if the owner is willing to let me buy it via bank finance. Funny enough I moved from Texas to Maine.
I ended up buying this Jeep, I had to replace the 350 motor (was not a 283, but the intake was from one) and the mechanic could tell the engine had multiple parts that had been repaired inside, I imagine that was part of the auto class. I was putting up for the winter last year and something in the drivetrain broke and I’ve been dragging my feet over spending more money on it. It has been a fun Jeep to take on the trails. One of the previous owners used synthetic oil in the transmission so when I changed it, there was fools gold (brass from syncros) aplenty. I learned from Herm’s website not to replace it with synthetic, but the damage had been done.
Hi Travis,
Thanks for the update and sorry to hear about the various issues. I’ve updated the post.
